The only sure good news is we play the Trolley Dodgers in ten days.

Sounds like a sure thing but which Thursday. We need a real jock-sniffer to find out what color athletic supporter Manuel is wearing this season. Wonder if we are actually waiting on his wife to decide.

If his talent and love is football I get it but you can make money in baseball without the brain damage. Sounds like in his case it would take a few years to get there. I think we already did the football thingy in Soxorg.

Exactly. They did not want to say torn hamstring.

He might be good for 25 dingers but he is quite an athlete.

Not really psyched about Moncada yet or what his path to success might entail. I think 2020 will be his make or break season. I am getting psyched for TA transitioning into a productive hitter. In spite of a .687 OPS having 51 extra base hits and 64 rbi is not bad for a shortstop along with his 26 SB. More contact and less K's might be the missing pieces for TA who is a free swinger we all know. I do not see how a move to 3B would help Moncada at this point.

It could be structured any number of ways with a deductible and covering a percentage of loss. Remember if you make a claim your rates go up. I heard that insurance can be a huge part of the cost

MLB Insider says Sox are Manchado's only option at present. We must not be good enough.

Amazing that a big deal actually got done. Wonder if this clears a path for Harper to knock out a deal with the Phil's. Hope so.

Dollar dogs are my only meal of the week outside of the mission.

Consider that all bids may be blind. I would not assume that teams are told what the others are bidding.

They had great teams 69-71 but just one title thanks in part to the Amazin' Mets. Won 107-108-101 games in that stretch. Except for Jim Palmer the young pitchers would start in the back of the pen and have to earn every inning.

I grew up with the Oriole way via the AAA Rochester Red Wings. They were not my MLB team but deepest respect. Frank and Earl Weaver were the two main symbols of that style.

Traded for Milt flippin Pappas and promptly won a World Series and Triple Crown. Nice deal for the O's I would say.

We can assume Manchado wants 10/300 so maybe the Sox should step up and offer 9/270. Even so he might wait until ST is well under way before making a deal.

All good while Robert and Eloy lead the way.

Two-year decline age 33. Sounds like a great deal.

Bringing Shields back sends a really wrong message. He did improve but is tiresome to watch. No one else seems to be after him.

Manny signs front-loaded deal with the Rams.

Game over baseball next.

I think the org made a decision going forward that Narvaez defense was not acceptable so he had to be moved. End of story.

Maybe that explains why AJ is not the manager. I would not defend the guy just because he played for the Sox.

We should get a good clue about Manuel B in April since he has to make the team in order to stay with the Sox. That one scout really went to bat for him. Hopefully will not remind anyone of Felipe Paulino.

AJ was all about hustle and competition. Ozzie said you don't hate AJ quite as much if he is on your own team Yes he could be offensive more like a Bill Belichick but the result was winning.
